Header of a US Government interoffice memorandum from a Special Agent (name redacted) to SAC Seattle, regarding the NORJAK case (D.B. Cooper hijacking), sub-file 99, dated January 9, 1973. The subject references Boeing Engineer Retraining program No. 491. The memo references prior correspondence from the Bureau and Portland. A redacted source at the Portland Office of Oregon State Employment Service reported a retraining program for unemployed Boeing engineers operating at Longview, Washington. The Bureau had previously noted the UNSUB (unidentified subject) in the NORJAK case possibly had executive training and may have been a former Boeing employee out of work at the time of the hijacking. The lead section assigns the Seattle field office two tasks: (1) At Longview, Washington, conduct inquiry into the Boeing retraining program and explore whether the UNSUB is associated with it; (2) At Seattle, Washington, determine if a similar retraining program exists in the Seattle area and investigate accordingly. A serial number 164-81-4312 is noted. Bottom of page contains the 'ARMED AND DANGEROUS' warning with a pen mark, FBI filing stamps showing the document was searched, indexed, serialized, and filed on January 11, 1973.
